Billtog's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anxiety--_--GOA TRANCE]

Very Badass

I'm really starting to like this GOA stuff (and electronic music in general). Keep up the great work.

[THE Doom Remix]

Awesome!

Now I have an erection and it won't go down no matter what I do. Thanks a lot, assholes.

jrayteam6 responds:

Uhh, without sounding gay, its out pleasure.

[The Haunted Music Box]

Delicious

I really like this one. It reminds me of the end of one of my songs (Soleus Reiu, if you actually give a shit). I like the whole concept of this song. Good work.

[Prelude no. 8 in C minor Lento]

Incredible

I can't think of a better name for this than "Last Snowfall." All I could see was a lonely man sitting at the window watching the snow fall slowly to the ground. Very lonely, very serene.

[Rig - Genesis]

Epic?

From 4:47 to the end was great. Before that... not so much. Well, I wouldn't say that it wasn't good, it was just boring and repetitive. You know what you're doing, you're an accomplished musician, but I just wasn't moved by anything before that (excepted maybe the shakuhachi/flute and the beginning of the song. With the word "epic" in the title, I expected at least for my heart rate to go up a little if not to get a full adrenaline rush. Instead I sat here for nearly five minutes wondering if you'd uploaded the wrong song. I'm no master at naming song (as is evident by my songs and their titles), but I strongly feel that the word "epic" is misplaced.

Rig responds:

Which is why I've since renamed it to "Genesis". I can't edit the title, though. Epic Orchestra 2 was a default name, as reFX wanted this to be a remix of my original "Epic Orchestra".
I see your point. Thanks for your opinion!

[lost youth]

Well Done

I thought the laughter was a nice touch. The piano in the lower register sounded bad to me, there was too much of a ringing sound. The music itself is great though. I like the wind in the background. Genius.

[Technohorse]

Nice

It wasn't quite techno-y enough. It sounded more like you just imported a MIDI of Thunderhorse, replaced everything with synth, and wrote a new drum beat (there were a few instances when things were different than the original song). I liked it, but I'm not sure I'd consider it to be techno.

[Melodic Loop]

My Face is on Fire

That was hardcore, but it doesn't loop so well. Everything works really well here. I have no advice to give you, so I'm just going to start making shit up. In the 80th measure when you switch to 7/4 and then back to 6/8, it doesn't flow so well. You need to concentrate on the timbre in that area so it'll sound better.

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Yeah, I can't get mp3's to loop for shit. I really need to work on it. Glad you like it man, and I was really going for the chaotic feel in the 80th measure, I figured it'd breath some real life into the piece.

[Rage of the Champions]

Sweetness

It doesn't sound like it's finished. There was obviously a lot more you could have done, but there wasn't any sort of ending on this song.

MaestroRage responds:

that was indeed the point. This is a battle loop, and as such it must have no discernible ending, or beginning. Or at least thats what I think when I think battle loop. It is indeed a song I will revist, and extend!

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I apologize for the late response!

[Living Hell]

Awesome

I think that maybe it took just a little too long to actually start. I wish you had shaved 5 seconds or so off the build up, but it doesn't really hurt the song, it's just my personal taste. I don't know what I can say about this song to give you some sort of direction. The ending is very cool (especially the sound after the last vocals are spoken). On a scale of 13 to 27, I give this piece a Hellish 24.5. I'm also going to download it.

Sephora responds:

Thank you
Yeah, the length of the build can be a downside...I actually did take time off the build up (it was longer :/ ) I was constantly changing it as I mentioned in the description.
Thanks for the feedback.
